Forms, lists, and messages: Young children writing

Abstract

A child's spontaneous literacy efforts are more likely to be connected to writing than to reading. This study found that children's early efforts to write are not mediated through oral language but arise on the basis of the activities involving writing that children are able to observe and take part in.
